This hotel seems to have had a recent update. Our room was so clean and beautiful and the whole property is interesting and well-maintainers. Staff was friendly and helpful. We were in walking distance of a good bit of stuff to do. Check out the Sunday Market if you are in town for the weekend. Our only complaints- -the girl at check in didn't clearly state the cost of incidentals -dark paint throughout the hotel made it difficult to see We would stay here again.

I am handicapped and last night was walking with my walker. Thank God, I wasn't in my wheelchair. Getting in the building took almost an act of God while some employee just watched. This is not a handicapped accessible hotel, even though it's they offer handicap accessible rooms. It does get better once you get in the room. But I would never come back here.

We absolutely LOVED everything about this hotel. We decided to stay in a suite instead of the train car and the room and amenities did not disappoint. There was even a clothing steamer in the room!!! Service was outstanding. Loved the location. There are several great restaurants adjoining to the hotel. This area has really been developed and a great part of town. I think the train cars looked fun as well. THANK YOU!
